Last year it was all about peplum. There were blouses and skirts, dresses and even blazers with peplum. This trend was all over personal style blogs. This year when the peplum madness is almost over, I started feeling like wearing a top with...peplum. Maybe next year I will be fond of vertical stripes? Or start wearing overalls and sweatshirts? (actually, I doubt it, but who knows:).

Albert
Einstein used to say that if we are doing the same thing over and over again we cannot expect different results. Despite that, daily routine makes us feel safe and secure. Repetitivness decreases the risk of failure. However, aren't we becoming slaves to our habits if we stay in our comfort for too long?
Aren't we stuck "inside the box"? Let's surprise ourselves from time
to time by introducing small changes
into our routine and looking at the world with eyes wide open. It's free. And
it's fun. That's why I am looking forward to career changes that me and my
beloved are about to face.

However, if my husband had to vote for a perfect outfit, I am quite sure he would choose jeans and a black top (men like simple solutions, don't they?). What he hates, though, are chino trousers ("you look like your grandma"), bolero jackets ("what's the point to wear a jacket that ends in the middle of your back?!") and A-shape skirts (again: "grandma"). I suppose that his opinion is shared by the majority of male population. We can be mad about it and say: "No man will ever tell me what I should or should not wear!" or "Oh, I only dress up for myself". Really? Or are these the myths that we repeat over and over again?

Haven't we ever said to our partner: "Honey, why don't you throw away this old, shabby t-shirt of yours" (that happens to be his favourite one) or "This sweater is horrible!"? And do we really dress up for ourselves as we like to repeat? Of course we do like to wear something that we can feel well in but let's admit it: we love getting positive feedback on what we wear too. So how to find balance between dressing up "for ourselves" and "for others"?
